Shoei J-O2 - Garnet Metallic

The biggest challenge in developing the J-O2 was preserving the iconic, compact shape while meeting the new and stricter safety requirements. The result is a helmet that remains unmistakably J-O at a glance, but now offers even more versatility and design refinement. Unless you know exactly where to look, you'd be hard-pressed to spot the difference.

One of the most noticeable updates is the addition of three rivets above the viewport, allowing riders to attach a peak or bubble visor. This change, by far the most requested by riders, opens up entirely new use cases: from vintage street racing and classic MotoX to urban cruising and American V-twin riding. It's a helmet that now fits more styles, more bikes and more riders.

The J-O2 also brings a few subtle design flourishes that reinforce its premium, custom aesthetic. From a refined goggle belt with a specially designed snap button to a vintage-inspired interior label, every detail has been considered to give this helmet both character and class.

At the heart of the J-O2's versatility is the new CJ-4 visor system. It's discreet, retractable, and transforms your helmet in seconds. The visor's unique shape includes a curved lower edge designed to reduce wind turbulence and eye irritation. It also features a three-position adjustment system, allowing riders to customize the fit based on face shape, nose length, or personal preference.

Don't let the J-O2's vintage charm fool you, underneath its retro shell lies cutting-edge SHOEI safety technology. Fully certified to ECE 22.06, the J-O2 delivers modern protection that meets the expectations of today's riders. Its shell is constructed using SHOEI's proprietary AIM (Advanced Integrated Matrix) technology: a layered blend of organic and fibreglass fibres bonded with high-strength resin. The result? A shell that is both incredibly strong and remarkably light. For the perfect fit and maximum performance, the J-O2 comes in four shell sizes, ensuring every rider gets the most compact and comfortable fit possible. Inside, a multi-density EPS liner absorbs impact energy and contributes to the helmet's overall protective capability, just as you'd expect from a name like SHOEI. Even the double D-ring chinstrap stays true to tradition while delivering the most secure fastening system in the industry, trusted on racetracks and open roads alike.

Long rides demand long-lasting comfort, and the J-O2 delivers. Inside, you'll find a fully removable and washable interior made of premium polyurethane foams and ultra-soft fabric designed for a snug, cosy fit. To maintain the classic appearance while maximizing function, the padding features high-quality synthetic leather accents: matte (nubuck) around the visor area to reduce glare, and glossy leather at the base for durability and easy cleaning. Eyewear users will also appreciate the integrated eyeglass channels, and the entire fit system is compatible with optional padding for those who want to fine-tune the feel. Every detail from the stitching to the materials to the exclusive J-O2 interior tag reflects Shoei's commitment to comfort, craftsmanship, and the soul of riding.
